The Arkansas Revenue Investment in Vital EMS Systems (ARRIVES) Act establishes a dedicated fund, known as the ARRIVES Fund, to support emergency medical services (EMS) agencies across the state. This fund will be created within the Arkansas Code and will consist of revenues authorized by law. The Department of Health is tasked with distributing these funds to eligible EMS agencies, which must meet specific criteria, including being actively licensed for at least three years and providing emergency ground ambulance services at the advanced or basic life support level.

To qualify for funding, EMS agencies must apply through the State Board of Health and provide necessary documentation, such as proof of licensure and a certificate of good standing. The disbursement of funds will be tiered based on the population of the counties, with different percentages allocated to agencies in counties classified into five tiers. The State Board of Health will also be responsible for creating rules to implement the provisions of this act.
